This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Every so often I have to go out and prove I still have the chops that earned me the "Stalker Boy" stripes back when I worked for the evil empire. :twisted:


From: http://www.rickgevers.com/news-director-updates/
WOWK-TV, Huntington/Charleston, WV…apparently we’re REALLY late in reporting that KEN WHITE is the new news director for this West Virginia Media owned CBS affiliate. He’s been there since January (Ken: Why didn’t you let me know? :) ). Ken spent 14 years as ND for WCCB-TV in Charlotte before leaving in 2013. He’s been working in radio and public relations since then. Ken replaces ELLEN MILLER who left the station last fall after nine months as ND.

Didn't take long to find out why he's under the radar:

It is funny that the criminal charges for the theft of goods by White got settled and expunged just before the Kroger acquisition of Harris Teeter was completed in January 2014. :roll:

I'm not sure I make the connection with Kroger and Harris-Teeter.
I suppose the lawyers were happy that there was one less thing to do after the merger.
At least he was "Getting food for the crew".

He assumed it was trade, damnit. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
